Chapter 16 - Summary

1st Pic:

Perona was surprised when Mihawk visited her in school with a bouquet of white roses - her favorite flower. She couldn't believe that Mihawk could do such thing, she thought that he isn't a romantic person, not knowing that Mihawk was just following Shanks' advice on how to confess to her in a romantic way as he believed that his confession last time was not enough to get Perona's approval.

Mihawk gave her the flowers then said, "...About what I just said to you last time, I mean it.." Perona's friends, Sugar and Flampe were blushing and felt how lucky their friend is for having a sweet and handsome suitor. On the other hand, Perona was unsure about what to say or feel that moment.

Mihawk said, "...I'm sorry for breaking your heart at first, I thought there's no way for us to be together in the end because of our age gap. But now I'm ready no matter how hard it takes." Mihawk held her hand, "Let me love you for real, Perona."

Perona: ...I can't.
Mihawk: Why? Is it because you don't have feelings for me anymore?
Perona: No, silly! Of course I always do. But I can't date someone who's already engaged.

Mihawk remembered that he hasn't cancelled his wedding with Robin yet. Hence, he promised Perona that he will settle everything as soon as possible.

2nd Pic:

Robin was in the mall when Mihawk came to talk to her. She's been looking for a gown to wear on her wedding day and she thought he came to help her.

Mihawk: Robin, I hope it's not too late. But I think I need to cancel our wedding.
Robin: Is it because of Perona?
Mihawk: How did you know?
Robin: Who wouldn't know? Ha ha!

Robin laughed as she was expecting this to happen, "The way you look and care for her, It's obvious that you're really into her." Mihawk apologized, "I'm sorry..." But Robin said, "You shouldn't be sorry. You're just following what your heart wants." She even reminded him not to feel bad since it's part of their agreement before that they can cancel their wedding anytime if ever one of them found who they truly want to marry.

3rd Pic:

Mihawk went to his mother's (Im) office to inform her about the cancellation of his wedding with Robin. Im was surprised and felt curious at the same time, "Would you mind telling me the reason?" She asked. Mihawk admitted that he loves someone else. Im got mad when she heard that he's inlove with someone way younger than him, "Are you out of your mind?! Why are you acting like your father?! What would other people say if they found this out?! It will humiliate my reputation!"

Mihawk complained, "All my life I've always been thinking for your own sake. I did everything you want just to protect your name although it's against my will. Why don't you let me do what makes me happy?" He also said, "This could be the first and last request that I would ask to you - let me be with someone I love." Then he left the room and didn't care what would her mother say.

TO BE CONTINUED.
